A/N I'm so sorry it took so long to post! It has been an overwhelming week but I finally got around to the next chapter! I have about one or two more chapters to go before I wrap up this story! Thank you for all the readers who have reviewed and favored this story! It means a lot to me! Please continue to review as helps me throughout the writing process! Happy Reading!

When me and Ethan arrived back at my apartment Olivia, Sabi, and Leah who were preparing breakfast greeted us. All were exhausted from the events of the night before and had not even changed their clothing. As I walked in Olivia walked up to me and gave me a bear hug.

"We made breakfast this morning. You must be beyond exhausted. Ethan no worries, I went buffet style on this breakfast so there is more than enough if you would like to stay and join us."

Olivia smiled weakly at me and Ethan. I know that Olivia was in zombie mode. The fact that she worked on breakfast instead of going to sleep made me appreciate her so much more.

"So why don't you guys walk over to the table and lets get ready to eat! We aren't going to bite!"

Olivia looks at us playfully as we head over to the dining table. The mood in the room is somber as if someone has just died. We sit and eat in silence. This mood even strikes me as strange. Usually when us four girls get together its all fun and games with the occasional good-natured bashing. After about fifteen minutes of silence Sabi is the first to speak up. She starts rubbing her temples and looking down at the table.

"I can't take this any longer. Leila what the fuck were you thinking!"

"Sabi shut the fuck up! What is your problem!"

"Olivia stay out of this!" Leah is about to open her mouth. "You too!"

With lack of sleep and worrying about me all night Ethan is evidently annoyed and addresses Sabi, personally.

"Sabrina! Leila has had a long night! All of us hadn't had any sleep! We don't want to deal with this and she doesn't need to deal with any stress right now! She is pregnant and I won't stand you talking to her in that way understood!"

"You come into her life with these fancy showoffs, all fucking rich owning America type bullshit and drag her ass into this. I should be mad at you! You know why? Because you weren't even there for her for the first couple of months of pregnancy. We were! And! She saved….oh this is the kicker… your ex-girlfriend! Where was her CIA army? Nowhere! Pregnant Leila was there. She wasn't even nice to her! That bitch will probably not say thank you! She will just make one phone call and have the best plastic surgeon in the world make over her face!

I can't take this argument. It is too much for me. Tears start to well up in my eyes. If I hadn't been pregnant I probably would have smacked her but my body was exhausted and I had little one to think of one right now. I didn't even finish my breakfast. I took off from the table to my bedroom. I could hear Ethan pick up the plate of food and chase after me. I shut the door. I didn't let him in. I didn't want to let anyone in. Ethan was pounding on the door for me to open in it. I continued to sit there and hear the commotion taking place outside.

"Happy Bitch!" There goes Olivia. I definitely didn't want to go outside now.

"You aren't the least bit pissed off Olivia?"

Olivia takes closer steps towards Sabi.

"Yes I'm pissed off but right now I'm fucking pissed off at you! What the fuck is your problem?! Did you have to speak to her like that! Regardless of what happened she is our friend. She is having a child! Does that not register with you? She could have been killed but she is here now! You better go and fucking apologize to her and Ethan right now or I'm fucking kicking you out this fucking house physically!"

Olivia and Sabi continue to go at it in the living room and I'm worn out about the events of last night. I could have been killed. I could have brought serious harm or..I don't even want to think about it. I'm just thankful that my little one is safe. What do I get in return for it? Christian is probably already planning the demise of my life since I was "involved" in this incident. I just want to lay here and never come out. That will be impossible given the commotion outside. Ethan continues to bang on my door and finally I decide to just take a deep breath and let him inside. He walks in with a plate of food and sits on my bedside.

"Baby get up from that floor and eat something! That's our child your carrying and I am not going to watch you starve yourself this morning because of the shit happening outside!"

"I'm really not even that hungry! Just leave me alone! Your lucky I let you in here!"

My raging hormones are spiking, I'm having an attitude, and I'm making sure that he realizes it. As I look at his sunken face with a smirk of victory he puts the plate on the nightstand and stands up. He stares at me, his eyes piercing through mine.

"Leila, if you don't get your ass on this bed right now and start eating so help me I will drag you to this bed will feed this food to you myself!"

My mouth slightly drops open. I haven't seen a firm dominant side from Ethan. Ever. Usually he will get frustrated and walk away from the situation but to talk to me like that? I'm very upset yet strangely turned on. Either way I decide to do as I am told and start eating. I know that he is only worried about me and the baby. I'm also sure that he is pissed off with the events of last night.

"I'm sorry if I startled you."

"No I wasn't startled, just a bit surprised."

Startled and super turned on!

"I am sorry. I just…I just was so worried about you and the baby. Why wouldn't you do the normal thing and call the police?"

"Ethan I didn't think realistically he could have been a psychotic killer! I was planning to just take her drunk ass home so she wouldn't have a night of regret. I felt bad for her. I knew that she was just trying to fill some void because you're not with her. I know it hurts her. I feel for her in more ways than one. I know what its like to have your heart ripped out of your chest. For her it's more difficult. She lives in the spotlight. Her brother is Christian Grey fucking gazillionaire! Men might only want to meet her because she comes from wealth. She has a swat team follow her 24/7…."

"shhhh…"

"What, why?"

"You're rambling on. I know you felt bad for her but two ladies trying to play detective isn't very smart at all. You should have called me the moment something was wrong. I could have told Christian! You didn't have to take it upon yourself. You may have these maternal instincts running through your veins right now but you need to not have such pregnancy brain and be smart about what it is your doing and your surroundings. Always, always call me baby I am here for you and the little one."

I start to tear up at his words. Ugh these damn pregnancy hormones. I'm crying all the time. He dries my eyes and holds me close to him on the bed.

"I have something for you."

"What?"

"I'll be right back. I just have to go to my car and get it real quick."

He smiles as he exits. I can still here them arguing but stop once they see Ethan heading out the door. They begin to banter him with questions but he assures them he is only getting something I need and will be back in a couple of minutes. Once the door shuts they rush to my bedroom.

"Hey Lele how ya feeling?"

"I'm better Sabi. How are you feeling?" I say this with slight hesitation.

"Look I'm sorry I went off on you like that. I should have never done that. I was interrogated by the police for what seemed like hours. I saw you get into an ambulance. I worried about you and your baby. I was just tired and cranky and I shouldn't have spoken to you like that. Your one of my bestest friends and I am sorry for the way I treated you this morning."

"Apology accepted." I know Sabi was worried about me. It just sucks how this had to happen. "Hug?" I reach out to hug Sabi and all three girls rush in for a big hug.

"Aww I'm so glad we don't hate each other anymore!"

"Olivia no one hated anyone."

"Speak for yourself bitch."

I giggle at her attempts to make us laugh.

"Well Ethan will be back in a few seconds so we will leave you two alone but tonight we are kidnapping you!"

"Kidnapping me? Doesn't that defeat the purpose if you have already told me what you are doing?"

"It's a form of expression. Don't make plans tonight. You can relax today, hang out with Ethan but tonight is ladies night indoors."

"Okay fine."

Ethan walks into the room with a medium sized, white box.

"Ladies that would be our cue to leave."

All four ladies exit the room and I'm back in my happy place with the love of my life.

"A present for me Mr. Kavanagh?"

"Something of the sort."

He sits on the bed next to me and hands me the box. I undo the yellow bow on top and open in it to first find a baby's onesie yellow outfit. It has a mommy, daddy, and a baby in cute little stick figures that says "I love my family." I smile at the outfit. It is so adorable.

"There is something else inside."

I pull out a set of keys.

"Baby what are these keys for? I already have a set of keys to your apartment."

"Do you remember that house you fell in love with in Scarsdale when we took that drive up one weekend?"

I feel this warm tingly sensation throughout every nerve in my body. I feel hot and my heart begins to race.

"Yes I remember that house."

"I bought it."

"Ethan, Shit! You bought a house! Why, what made you…..what about your apartment..and my apartment…..!"

"Baby that apartment belonged to me and Kate but it has Kate written all over it. She loves that place. We are starting a family and I want you to have room to move around in and I want you to make it completely your own. Leah is moving in with Olivia too."

"I'm really speechless. I don't even know what to say."

"Just say yes."

"Yes."

"Will you say it one more time?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Three times! I'm so happy."

Ethan then falls onto his knees near my bed, pulls out a small box, and opens it. Inside is a diamond ring that may make my hand drop wearing it! The diamond cut in the middle is encased in the shape of a heart. I can't stop staring at it. I think I may stop breathing. It is the most beautiful piece of jewelry I have ever seen more so because it is from the man that loves me.

"Will you say yes one more time. To this, to us. Leila Williams I love you with all my heart, all my soul. I will do anything in the world for you and our family. Marry me."

I start to bawl. I know I'm saying yes but I'm barely audible and nodding my head up and down like a bobblehead. He slips the ring on my finger and I jump on him and begin to kiss him all over. As I push him to the bed ready to rip all his clothes off I hear a slight bump on my door. I rush over and open my door to see Olivia, Leah, and Sabi sitting by the door with tears in their eyes.

"What are you guys doing?!"

Leah tries to speak through sobs.

"First off it was Olivia's idea to post here. Second we are so happy for you! We are going to miss you but we are so happy right now. I'm sorry I just have a lot of emotions going through me right now."

I turn my back on them and look at Ethan wide eyed. I thought they left! Ethan just holds out his arm in a "go ahead have your girl moment" to which I run to him and kiss him passionately with the annoying cat calls in the background. I tip toe up to whisper in his ear.

"This isn't over yet Mr. Kavanagh. I have something special for you this evening."

I rush to my girlfriends and we engage in all the nonsense of being girls.

"Whens the wedding?"

"I need to go with you to pick a dress. Something flowy because of….you know….that ball in front of you!"

"We are going to be in it right?"

"When do we get to see the house?"

Ethan walks up to us and pulls me aside.

"Baby I have to go and prepare some documents. What time should I meet you?"

"Well Olivia said she had something planned for tonight that she really wanted to do but I want to see you. Maybe around 5?"

"What are you guys planning to do?"

"Girls night…"

He gives me a stern look.

"In."

"In?"

"Yes "In" here at the apartment."

"Okay baby, I will call you when I'm on my way."

"Actually I'll meet you at your apartment."

"Sounds like a plan, I'll see you there then. Love you."

"Love."

And with that smile that captured me the first night we met he is out the door.

Ethan's POV

I left Leila's apartment a happy man. I could barely contain my excitement of these morning's events. I was going to give her the gifts last night however after all the chaos I never had the chance to. I hear my phone buzzing and instantly pick it up.

"Miss me already baby?"

"No, ewwww. Ethan, gross. Its Kate. I'm in New York right now. Can you meet me at the apartment right now?"

"When did you fly in?"

"Very early this morning. Please come. Now!"

I hop in my car and head over to the apartment. If Kate is here than Elliot must be here because of Mia. This would also mean that Christian and Ana are here as well. Shit what a way to rain on my parade. I'm not saying that it doesn't bother me what happened to Mia but I know they are going to blame Leila for it and I won't stand for that shit. All these thoughts run rampant in my mind and I finally reach the apartment. I head up to see a bodyguard at my door. Yup, Christian is no doubt nearby.

"Hi I'm Ethan Kavanagh this is my apartment with my sister Kate."

The bodyguard knocks on the door and Kate immediately opens it.

"Barry he is my brother. Let him in."

I walk in feeling completely unsettled and alarmed that this type of Grey protection has reached my comfort zone. I head straight to the couch and sit down waiting for Kate to speak.

"I'm sure you already know about last night."

"No I don't Ethan! Fucking Christian went apeshit! The next minute we are all headed to New York on security detail. Elliot is at the hospital with Christian and Ana right now!"

"How did you manage to come here."

"Do you see that guy outside the door? That's how. Elliot sent him to come with me."

"You need to start talking because Leila is not a word in his vocabulary."

I'm starting to feel very defensive and protective of Leila right now. If Christian thinks that he will have some way to make the mother of my child uneasy then he has something coming to him.

"Kate we are going to the hospital right now."

"As much as I'm a hothead too, no uh-uh…..fuck that! Dealing with fucking looney toon nutjob..hell no!"

I grab her hand.

"We are going now Kate."

We ask Barry to take us to the hospital immediately to which he complies. Once we arrive we enter the elevator to take us to the top floor to a private hospital room that Mia is staying in. We check in with the lead nurse who leads us to her room. Inside I see Christian, Ana, Elliot, Carrick, and Grace. Taylor is waiting outside with two other men. He definitely brought in the whole damn calvary. Mia has come to and is talking. I approach Mia's room and instantly Christian rises to meet me.

"What the fuck are you doing here Kavanagh!"

Ana grabs onto Christian's arm.

"Christian stop it!"

Mia pipes in along with Ana.

"Back off Christian its not his fault! I already told you what happened. It was my fucking fault! Just accept it! I made a fucking mistake! Luckily Leila, yes I said it, Leila was there to save my ass!"

I walk over to Mia ignoring the fuming bull near me. From what Kate was telling me in the car he had pretty much almost had a heart attack over the whole thing with Mia. He hugged her tight and made sure she had all the comforts surrounding her but when she awoke he pretty much let her have it.

"Mia how are you feeling?"

"Better. They observed me through the night made sure I had no internal bleeding. My nose was broken. I haven't even looked in the mirror at my face. As you can see I have a strong, maybe a bit unstable at times, yet strong support system. Thanks for coming to see me."

"Hey no matter what I'm still here for you. I'm just sorry that you had to go through this."

"We all make mistakes. I wish I could talk to Leila but SOMEONE IN THE CORNER IS BEING AN ASSHOLE!"

"Mia, you know I only look out for you! I have so much in place to protect you and yet somehow that wasn't enough. This shit bothers me! Look what happened to Ana! Isn't that reminder enough of what can happen when you are careless and do not trust the people around you to keep you safe! You jeopardized your safety and could have lost your life! Right now I am making sure that man dies in jail, wasting my time. Fuck! I have to take Ana with me because she wants to see you but do you think I want her traveling like this when she should be at home resting! I love you Mia but this won't ever happen again. On my life this won't fucking happen again!"

Carrick joins the conversation.

"Calm yourself Christian! Mia, who is this woman who was with you that night."

"It was my fiancée, Leila Mr. Grey."

The whole room grows silent as they stare at me. Mia looks like she is about to start laughing while Christian walks out the room running his hands through his hair with Ana on his heels behind him. Kate interrupts the silence.

"Fiancée! When did this happen?"

"This morning."

"Congratulations." Mia says this and begins laughing. I think she is delirious off of her pain medication.

"Excuse me Grace, Carrick. Elliot, honey we will be right back. Love you Mia doll I need to go speak with Ethan."

Kate pulls me out the room towards a small room a few doors down.

"When were you planning to tell me anything?"

"When I actually did it. If I told you ahead of time your twin would know and then the whole world. I wanted it to be a only for our moment type of thing and not everyone getting all giddy until after we told them."

"Have you told mom and dad?"

"Well….um….ya….okay I told them. In fact they were the ones who kind of told me not to tell you. They were supportive and mom actually helped me to find a house."

"You bought a fucking house!"

"In Scarsdale."

"Ethan I'm a second away from having you join Mia at this hospital! How could you not tell me?"

"Katie I wanted it to be a surprise. Hell Elliot shocked the shit out of me when I saw him propose to you! I didn't even know you guys were on that level. I wanted to beat the living shit out of him because you are my little sister. I'm obviously okay with it now and happy for you. Aren't you happy for me?"

"I am happy. Its just your going to remain on the east coast."

"And you will still see me just as much. I'm always watching out for you and always will but its time now to watch over my family."

I give Kate a hug and hold her close. I love my sister and she knows it. No matter what happens or how far apart we live we will always be just as close.

"Whens the wedding?"

"We haven't had the chance to discuss it much. Once I know the details maybe you can get together with her discuss all that stuff that women do.."

Through muffled sobs Kate begins to speak.

"Oh Ethan you better get your checkbook ready."

"Just remember I'm not Christian or Elliot Grey! We want an elegant affair not a damn royal wedding of the century!"

In another empty room in the hospital…..

"Christian, baby please stop acting like this."

Tears start to form in Christian's eyes. Only Ana was allowed to see his weakness.

"Ana baby, when I got that call I swore Leila had done something to Mia. It angered me because she is my baby sister. I love her and would do anything to protect her and then someone from the past comes in and I don't know what to think. I lose control and I do not enjoy not being in control to where I couldn't protect her. I felt helpless, helpless like the day that fucker hurt you. I never wanted to relive emotions like that again baby. I didn't want someone from my past to disturb what we have. You know Leila and it is very unsettling. I'm sorry that you have to be exposed to this, for little blip to be exposed to all of this."

"Christian draws Ana close to him and kisses her belly."

"Christian I have always told you that I love you no matter what. Little blip doesn't even know what is going on. I know that what happened with Leila is in the past. It doesn't matter its not what she wants its not what you want anymore. I married you fifty shades and all. Ethan deserves to be with someone who loves him who is carrying his child..uh..um.."

"She is pregnant?!"

"Yes"

"How long have you known about this."

"We found out a few weeks ago. Kate went to New York to see Ethan, to see if it were true. Ethan hadn't even known about it, Kate told him after we saw her picture in the art review. After your whole fiasco of when you went in there to talk to her Ethan left her completely. She found out she was pregnant soon after but didn't want to bother him because she thought that he would only think she got pregnant because she was using him. I felt horrible Christian."

"Christian buries his head in his hands."

"So I am partly to blame for Ethan not being there to hear that he was going to be a father from her mouth."

"Christian please don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. Even overprotective CEOs."

Christian looks straight ahead in a deep thought.

"Christian what are you thinking about?"

After a about a minute of not responding he finally opens his mouth to speak.

"I am thinking that we are in room all to ourselves. There is always a first time for everything Mrs. Grey."

"Christian! You can't be serious! What if someone hears us or comes by."

Christian walks over and makes sure the door is completely closed and that nobody is around in the hallway.

"That's why we have to be quick. I have a lot of pent up emotions that need to be released and I need you to do as your told."

Christian pulls Ana close to him that she gasps once she feels how quickly he has become aroused.

"Now I will need you to be quiet…."

30 minutes later…(Ethan's POV)

Me and Kate have been outside talking to Carrick and Grace and even made a call to our parents to let them know what had been happening. As we head back to Mia's room we see Ana and Christian making their way back as well.

"Wonder where those two have been. He must have been real mad to be gone that long."

"He looks more composed. Yeah they probably had sex. Really, according to them its like that solves all problems."

"Duh Katie, sex solves all problems."

"Figures you would say that, you're a guy! C'mon lets get ready to go. I'm exhausted."

We head back towards the room and say our goodbyes to Mia. Christian comes up to me before I am ready to leave with Elliot and Kate.

"I'm sorry Kavanagh. I shouldn't have said some of the things I said to you."

"Its alright. You were just looking out for your family too. I'll see you around Grey."

With that said I leave with Elliot and Kate. As we are driving back to the apartment I get a call from Leila.

"Hey baby."

"Hey sweetheart what are you doing?"

"Right now Olivia is attempting to rub my belly with this anti stretch mark lotion. Its hilarious!"

I can hear Olivia in the background.

"I swear Ethan this is so tedious!"

"Anyways I was wondering what time you might come over?"

"Baby, Kate is in town right now do you think we can meet up tomorrow morning? I know that you have your girls night IN and I just want you to spend some time with them."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure. I'll be there with you in the morning. Maybe we can take a trip to the house."

"I'd love that babe! Alright, well…I'll miss you tonight. Call me and text!"

"Always. Love you."

"Love."

I hang up to see Kate staring at me.

"You are not seeing her tonight? Why not?"

"Well maybe you and me can hang out. Its been a long time since we had brother and sister time."

Kate lights up!

"Babe do you mind if I head out with my brother tonight? We head back in a couple days and I just want some family time."

"Do you mind Elliot?"

"No, its fine. I'm going to head over later to be with Mia and probably hang out at Christian's apartment. You know that he has a ton of food coming in and out. I'm not complaining! That's where I will be at. I can just meet you back at your apartment when you get back babe."

"Aww thanks love!"

Kate starts kissing Elliot and even though I've seen them like this before it still disturbs me. I turn to face the window outside and think of what awaits me with my future wife and child.

Leila's POV (at Leila and Olivia's Apartment)…

"Okay so obviously we have to keep it down. I'm going to be a married woman with a child on the way." I look at them all prim and proper. I know how to start trouble.

"Shut the hell up! Its not like we are doing shots or drinking however this shit is still going to be insane!"

Olivia walks out of the room carrying a bunch of cds.

"What are we dancing?"

"Something like that Leah."

I look closer and see a microphone.

"Oh shit! I know exactly what you are doing! You are putting on karaoke!"

"Damn right. I've got karaoke, a truckload of your favorite Chinese food, and our favorite chick flicks Dirty Dancing "Nobody puts baby in a corner!" The Sweetest Thing, oh and the all time epic movie, Bridget Jones Diary!"

I clap my hands like a giddy child.

"Lets get the party started prenatal style!"

With that being said we spend the first hour singing karaoke from everything from

"Grease Summer Nights" to "Aqua's Barbie Girl" complete with real-life interpretation! I'm having the time of my life and nothing feels better.

"Lele c'mon sing with me sing with me! Olivia prances out the bedroom in a men's dress shirt.

"I'm going out tonight I'm feeling alright Gonna let it all hang ouuuuut!"

I start singing when we hear a knock on the door. Olivia turns the volume down.

"Man Ethan's a buzz kill! Its girls night in!"

"Don't be so horrible he probably just stopped to say hi."

I turn the knob and open my door about the swing my arms around the love of my life but I step back once I realize its not Ethan but three women, two being Mia and Anastasia Grey.
